Answer:

The slope is 1.

Explanation:

Slope:


\Rightarrow \sf{(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) }

y2=(-7)

y1=(-1)

x2=(-1)

x1=5


\sf{(-7-\left(-1\right))/(-1-5)}

Solve.


\sf{(-7-\left(-1\right))/(-1-5)=(-6)/(-6)=\boxed{\sf{1}}}

Therefore, the slope is 1, which is our answer.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
